    If you have a loot card problem read this first


    There are many problems that a user can experience when entering a loot code received from a World of Warcraft trading card or from the UDE Point Store. 

     

    The most common problem is that players take the code straight from the card and try to enter it in game with Landro in Booty Bay.  This is not the proper way to redeem a loot code.  Players must first type their 25-digit code into Blizzard’s Promotion Code Retrieval Page located at: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/misc/promotion.html

     

    When a code is redeemed from the website, that code is “used,” so you need to be very, very sure you have the correct region and realm information. Otherwise, you risk not being able to redeem your code for an item. Your code cannot be used a second time.

     

    Once you have turned your code for the correct Region and Realm there are a few other common problems that players have experienced:

    Does Landro’s code box not fit all 25-digits?  This is a known bug with this process.  Before you do anything else, just log out of World of Warcraft and then log back in.  This will usually resolve your problem.  On occasion various mods can interfere with Landro's code redemption box.  If you continue to have problems, disable all add-ons or mods before trying again.

    Is the code typed correctly?  Often times just copy and pasting the code from the promotions page can reduce a number of problems at this step in the process.

     

    Was your inventory full the first time you entered this code?  Blizzard’s website clearly states that failure to have at least one inventory space available when redeeming promotional items will result in the loss of the item.  This code can not be used a second time.  If you are intending to contact a GM about this issue you should inform them that you have a problem with a “Lost or Missing item,” not a defective promotional loot code.

     

    Are you selecting the right item from Landro’s list?  If you select the wrong item from his list, it will not accept your code.  Please double check that the name of the card that you are redeeming resembles the name of the in game item that the code is good for.

     

    He didn’t give me my Spectral Tiger!  Landro does not put any of the mounts, such as the Spectral Tiger or Rocket Mount, in your inventory.  Instead after you have redeemed these codes a new option will open on his menu to purchase these mounts if you are the correct level and have the correct riding skill.  If you do not meet these requirements, please return to Booty Bay when you do.

    What else can I try?  In some weird scenarios I have heard of the "WTF Folder" in the World of Warcraft Program files interfering with the loot code redemption process.  Delete or move this folder, and reload World of Warcraft.  Also, combat and non-combat pets can cause problems.  Please dismiss your pet before trying again.


    Please be aware that once a code has been entered through Blizzard’s Promotional page and informed a customer of the Region and Realm that the code has been redeemed on, Upper Deck no longer has any power over the item.  Upper Deck can not move or replace items inside Blizzard’s online game.

    Great post. As a seller of over 1000 codes there are a few things I get as common questions/problems that I could add;

    1. I have received hundreds of emails from people with problems imputing the codes on the wow redemption website. Sometimes for whatever reason the cells bump you forward before being full. This results in numbers being leftover. To resolve this simply fill each cell up before moving to the next.

    2. Mods - Take them off! Most of the time they don't cause problems at Landro but occasionally some mods cause him to be buggy. Simply go to your character selection screen, disable all your mods and attempt your code again. Once you have your item just hop back to character selection and enable them again.

    3. If you end up redeeming the code without an item being added to your inventory or the ability to purchase the mounts GM's can help. Open a ticket with all available information and prepare to wait. Usually a GM will contact you while your still playing and advise you that they are escalating the matter to a GM who can help with item loss. The whole process usually can be completed in a few days. Most of the time faster.
